If the Depositor cannot deliver the original title insurance policy concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor shall promptly deliver each such original title insurance policy as soon as such policy becomes available but in no event later than 120 days following the execution of this Agreement. All rights arising out of Loans including, without limitation, all funds received on or in connection with a Loan shall be held by the Depositor in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of each Loan by the Certificateholders. 77 It is the express intent of this Agreement that the conveyance of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section 2.1 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee and that the sale of the Certificates to the Certificateholders, if they are sold, be, and be construed as, a sale of a 100% interest in the Loans and the Trust Fund to such Certificateholders. It is, further, not the intention of this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of this Agreement, the Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Loans, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or any Custodian of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (d) shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any purpose other than for perfection of such security interest unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in writing). The Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a perfected security interest in Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Trustee is authorized to appoint any bank or trust company approved by the Depositor as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to under (i) through (viii) above, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose and any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered to the Custodian and any Officer's Certificates delivered with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Custodian. 78 Section 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1 and to any document exceptions reported pursuant to the Trustee's reviews as described below, receipt of the Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits and indemnities), the Mortgages, the assignments of the Mortgages and the Officer's Certificates referred to in Section 2.1 above, and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it as Trustee in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that, as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, the Mortgage Files have been delivered to the Trustee and the Trustee has conducted a preliminary review of the Mortgage Files. The Trustee further acknowledges that such review included a review of the Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits and indemnities) to determine that the appropriate Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits and indemnities) have been delivered and endorsed in the manner set forth in Section 2.1(i). In connection with such review, the Trustee shall have delivered an exceptions report indicating any discrepancies relating to such review. In addition, the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File within 45 days, or with respect to assignments which must be recorded, within 180 days, after execution of this Agreement to ascertain that all required documents set forth in items (i), (ii), (v), (vi) and, to the extent delivered to the Trustee, items (iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii) of Section 2.1 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Loans identified in Exhibit D annexed hereto, and in so doing the Trustee may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify or determine whether any Mortgage File should contain documents described in Sections 2.1(iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii). The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or make any independent examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no representations as to (i) the validity, legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Mortgage File or any of the Loans identified on the Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Loan. If at the conclusion of such 45-day period or 180-day period the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Loans identified in said Exhibit D (each such finding, a "material defect"), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor, which shall have a period of 90 days after the REMIC has received notice to correct or cure any such material defect; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received a document by reason of the fact that such document shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office then the Depositor shall have until a date one year later from the Cut-Off Date to correct or cure such defect. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such material defect as defined above is not corrected or cured, the Depositor will, within 90 days of the REMIC having received notice, either (i) repurchase the related Loan at a price equal to 100% of the Principal Balance of such Loan (or any property acquired in respect thereof) plus accrued interest on such Principal Balance at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the next scheduled Due Date of such Loan or (ii) substitute for any Loan to which such material defect relates a different mortgage loan (a "Substitute Loan") maturing no later than and not more than two years earlier than the Loan being substituted for and having a principal balance equal to or less than and a Mortgage Interest Rate equal to or greater than the 79 Mortgage Interest Rate of the Loan being substituted for, a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Loan being substituted for and otherwise having such characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.3 hereof would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Loan originally been a Loan; provided, however, that if the Principal Balance of the original Loan exceeds the principal balance of the Substitute Loan, an amount equal to that difference shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account; provided, further, however, that no such substitution may occur after 90 days of the Closing Date unless the Trustee shall have received from the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not adversely affect the REMIC status of REMIC I or REMIC II or constitute a prohibited transaction or substitution under the REMIC provisions of the Code, and, if applicable, within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions of the particular State, if any, which would impose a tax on the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month of substitution are not a part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Servicer. The Depositor shall notify each Rating Agency of any such substitution. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on the Loan being substituted for in such month.

Section 2.6 No Contributions. The Trustee shall not accept or make any contribution of cash to the Trust Fund after 90 days of the Closing Date, and shall not accept or make any contribution of other assets to the Trust Fund unless, in either case, it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A or Group I and Group II Subordinate Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust Fund to any tax on contributions to the REMIC under Section 860G(d) of the Code. Section 2.7 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that, as of the date of execution of this Agreement: 90 (a) the Servicer is a corporation duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Servicer's corporate charter or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Servicer or any of its assets; (c) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; (d) the Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would affect its performance hereunder; (e) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement; and (f) as long as the Servicer has any obligations to service the Loans hereunder (and it has not assigned such obligations pursuant to Section 3.1(c)), it shall be a FNMA or a FHLMC-qualified servicer. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.7 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee, or to a Custodian, as the case may be. ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS Section 3.1 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Administration of the Loans. (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund solely in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) 91 and the Trustee (as trustee for Certificateholders) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for other portfolios, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional residential mortgage lenders and loan servicers, and taking into account its other obligations hereunder, but without regard to: (i) any relationship that the Servicer, any sub-servicer, any special servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, any sub-servicer or any special servicer may have with the related Mortgagor; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer, any special servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, any sub-servicer or any special servicer; (iii) the Servicer's, any sub-servicer's or any special servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; or (iv) the ownership, or servicing or management for others, by the Servicer, any sub-servicer or any special servicer, of any other mortgage loans or property. To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer of the collectability of the Loans. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Loans, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through one or more subservicers, special servicers or agents (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1), to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable for the purpose of conserving the assets of the Trust Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to continue to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on each Mortgaged Property and related collateral; and modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer (whether acting alone or through one or more subservicers, special servicers or agents) shall not modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to the change of the terms of any of the Loans (including without limitation extending the stated maturity date of any Loan or forgiving principal of or interest on any Loan), except as permitted by Section 3.2 hereof. The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans in accordance 92 with applicable law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. To enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, upon the Servicer's written request accompanied by the forms of any documents requested, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate and the Trustee shall not be responsible for releasing such powers of attorney. The Trustee shall not be responsible for, and the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for, any action taken by the Servicer pursuant to the application of any such power of attorney. The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor thereto) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. (b) The Servicer, Trustee and Depositor intend that REMIC I and REMIC II formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the Servicer shall perform its duties and obligation hereunder so as to qualify each of them as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. The Tax Matters Person, or the Person acting as attorney-in-fact and agent therefor, shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, federal tax returns (as well as any other federal and state information and other returns) using a calendar year as the taxable year when and as required by the REMIC Provisions; (b) make (or cause to be made) an election, on behalf of each of REMIC I and REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC on the Federal tax return and any applicable state or local returns for the first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all information reports (including, without limitation, the information required in connection with the computation of the present value of anticipated excess inclusions as required by ss. 1.860E-2(a)(5) of the REMIC Provisions) as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (d) conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that REMIC I Regular Interests or REMIC II Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; and (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either REMIC I or REMIC II. (c) The Servicer may enter into sub-servicing agreements with third parties with respect to any of its respective obligations hereunder, provided, that (1) any such agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and (2) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver or amendment to any Loan without the approval of the Servicer. Any such sub-servicing agreement may permit the sub-servicer to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.1(c). Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer with a Person other than the Depositor shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost or obligation to the assuming or terminating party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.5. 93 Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a sub-servicer, including (if applicable) the Depositor in its capacity as sub-servicer under a sub-servicing agreement and not in its capacity as a party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer (including the Depositor) alone, and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.1(d). In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing obligations of the Servicer, upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own expense deliver to the Trustee all documents and records relating to any sub-servicing agreement and the Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any sub-servicing agreement to the Trustee. (d) Costs incurred by the Servicer in effectuating the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Note shall be recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3. The Servicer shall ensure all such taxes and assessments are timely paid. The Servicer, as initial servicer, shall pay all of its costs and proven damages incurred with respect to or arising out of any allegation of impropriety in its servicing of the Loans. Further, the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement or indemnification from either the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders with respect to any such costs, claims and damages. (e) Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and any Person (including the Depositor) acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person (including the Depositor) acting as sub-servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the Servicer by such sub-servicer (including the Depositor and the Trustee), and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement. 94 Section 3.2 Collection of Certain Loan Payments; Custodial Account for P&I. (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to conventional mortgage loans it services for itself and any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Servicer agrees not to permit any modification with respect to any Loan that would change the manner in which the Mortgage Interest Rate is computed, forgive any principal or interest or change the term of such Loan. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any assumption fee, late payment charge or other charge in connection with a Loan, and (ii) arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after the scheduled Due Date, for payment of any installment on any Mortgage Note or after the due date of any other payment due under the related Mortgage Note for the liquidation of delinquent items, provided, that the Servicer shall continue to be obligated to make Advances in accordance with Section 4.3 during the continuance of such period. With respect to any Loans which provide for the right of the holder thereof to call for early repayment thereof at times specified therein, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall exercise any such right, except that the Trustee shall exercise such right at the written direction of the Servicer set forth in an Officer's Certificate in connection with a default under the related Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Servicer nor any other party may take any action that would cause a "significant modification" of any Loan within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions that would cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions. (b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate account as set forth in Article I (the "Custodial Account for P&I"), and shall on the Closing Date credit any amounts representing scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-off Date but received by the Servicer on or before the Closing Date, and thereafter on a daily basis the following payments and collections received or made by it (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date): (i) All Mortgagor payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Loans; (ii) All Mortgagor payments on account of interest on the Loans, which may be net of that portion thereof which the Servicer is entitled to retain as Servicing Fees (adjusted for any amounts related to Compensating Interest) pursuant to Section 3.9, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6; (iii) All net Liquidation Proceeds; (iv) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, 95 and all amounts deposited by the Servicer with respect to the failure to maintain flood or fire and hazard insurance policies, pursuant to Section 3.5; (v) All repurchase proceeds from the repurchase of a Loan pursuant to a Purchase Obligation; (vi) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.2(c) in connection with net losses realized on Eligible Investments with respect to funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I; (vii) All income and gain realized from any investment of the funds in the Custodial Account for P&I in Eligible Investments; (viii) All net income from the renting of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.7(c); and (ix) All other amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account for P&I in Eligible Investments which shall mature not later than the second Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date unless the Custodial Account for P&I is maintained with the Trustee in which case they may mature one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date. The Eligible Investments may not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Servicer (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer, and shall be payable to the Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer, out of its own funds immediately as realized without right to reimbursement therefor. (d) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account for P&I shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of those described in the last paragraph of this Section 3.2 and payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account for P&I. All funds deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account for P&I shall be held by it in trust in the Custodial Account for P&I until disbursed in accordance with Section 4.1 or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.3; provided, however, that the Servicer shall withdraw such funds and deposit them in such manner as to not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to the Certificates by each Rating Agency. If the Servicer deposits in the Custodial Account for P&I any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3(i) of this Agreement. 96 Certain of the Loans may provide for payment by the Mortgagor of amounts to be used for payment of taxes, assessments, hazard or other insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagor. The Servicer may deal with these amounts in accordance with its normal servicing procedures. Section 3.3 Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I. The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I for the following purposes: (a) to reimburse itself for Advances made by it pursuant to Section 3.4 or 4.3, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (a) being limited to (i) amounts received on or in respect of particular Loans (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds which represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made and any net income received from the renting of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.7(c)) and (ii) amounts in the Custodial Account for P&I held for future distribution or withdrawal, such amounts referred to in clause (ii) of this subclause (a) to be replaced by the Servicer to the extent that funds in the Custodial Account for P&I on a future Withdrawal Date are less than the payment required to be made to the Certificate Account therefrom as of such future Distribution Date; (b) (i) to reimburse itself from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses, (ii) for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 3.7 in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and (iii) to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement are in excess of the Principal Balance of the related Loan together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Pass- Through Rate to the date of such liquidation, net of any related Advances which were unreimbursed prior to the receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself any unpaid Servicing Fees, and any assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgage charges on the related Loan; (c) to pay to itself from any Mortgagor payment as to interest or other recovery with respect to a particular Loan, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, that portion of any payment as to interest in excess of interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate which the Servicer is entitled to retain as Servicing Fees pursuant to Section 3.9 or otherwise; (d) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.5 after the related Mortgagor has reimbursed the Trust Fund for such expenses or following liquidation of the related Loan, or pursuant to Section 6.3; (e) to pay to itself with respect to each Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 or purchased by the Class R Certificateholder pursuant to Section 9.1 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Principal Balance is determined; 97 (f) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances; (g) to disburse to the Trustee in order that the Trustee may make payments to Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.1; (h) to pay itself any net interest or other income earned and received on or investment income received with respect to funds in the Custodial Account for P&I; and (i) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and to remove any amounts not required to be deposited therein and to clear and terminate the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 9.1. Since in connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Loan for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to such subclauses. The Servicer shall make the withdrawal referred to in subclause (g) above and shall deposit the amount so withdrawn into the Certificate Account prior to 4:00 P.M. New York City time on each related Withdrawal Date. Section 3.4 Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and in which all Escrow Payments shall be retained. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts, and funds in the Escrow Account may be invested in Eligible Investments. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Trustee prior to any subsequent change thereof. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and comparable items; (ii) refund to Mortgagors any sums that are determined to be overages; (iii) reimbursement to the Servicer for any cost incurred in paying taxes, insurance premiums and assessments or comparable items; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) withdraw interest or other income which may lawfully be retained by the Trust Fund, for deposit into the Certificate Account; or (vi) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any interest earned on funds in Escrow Accounts shall be remitted to the related Mortgagors if required by the related Mortgage Note or otherwise to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. 98 (b) With respect to each Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. The Servicer shall require that payments for taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other similar items be made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. If a Mortgagor fails to make any such payment on a timely basis, the Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall unless the Servicer determines in its good faith judgment that such advance would not be ultimately recoverable from future payments and collections on the related Loan (including without limitation Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds), or otherwise. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of advances it makes pursuant to the preceding sentence, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, from amounts received on or in respect of the related Loan respecting which such advance was made or if such advance has become nonrecoverable, in either case to the extent permitted by Section 3.3 of this Agreement. No costs incurred by the Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Loans so permit. Section 3.5 Maintenance of Insurance. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the Principal Balance of such Loan or (ii) the replacement value costs of improvements securing such Loan. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the greater of (i) an amount not less than is necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the related fire and hazard insurance policy or (ii) the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80% a primary mortgage insurance policy which will cover at least 75% of the original fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property until such time as the principal balance of such Loan is reduced to 80% of the current fair market value or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. The Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as Mortgagee shall maintain or cause the related Mortgagor to maintain for each Loan such other insurance on the related Mortgaged Property as may be required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the full insurable value, (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, and (iii) the Principal Balance of the related Loan. The Servicer shall also maintain fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage and, if applicable, flood insurance on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Loan in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the principal balance owing on such Loan at the time of such foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and related Liquidation Expenses. If an REO Property was located at the time of origination of the related Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will obtain flood insurance in respect thereof 99 providing substantially the same coverage as described in the preceding sentence. If at any time during the term of this Agreement a recovery under a flood or fire and hazard insurance policy in respect of an REO Property is not available but would have been available if such insurance were maintained thereon in accordance with the standards applied to Mortgaged Properties described herein, the Servicer shall either (i) immediately deposit into the Custodial Account for P&I from its own funds the amount that would have been recovered or (ii) apply to the restoration and repair of the property from its own funds the amount that would have been recovered, if such application would be consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.1. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the Servicer and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations or policies of the Servicer as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. Pursuant to Section 3.2, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 3.5 (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.3. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall be recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that qualifies under the guidelines set forth for the Servicer by FNMA or FHLMC, insuring against hazard losses on all of the Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance on the Loans without co-insurance and otherwise complies with all other requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 3.5, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation as set forth in such first paragraph, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related mortgaged or acquired property an insurance policy complying with the first paragraph of this Section 3.5 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, be required to deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account for P&I or apply to the restoration of the property the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. The Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with broad coverage with responsible companies covering the Servicer's officers and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall provide an amount of coverage and will maintain such coverage at a level which will permit the Servicer to continue to be a FNMA or a FHLMC-qualified Servicer and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. No provision of this Section 3.5 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. 100 Section 3.6 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements. In any case in which property subject to a Mortgage is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer will enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any related insurance policy or result in legal action by the Mortgagor. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed. The Servicer is also authorized to release the original Mortgagor from liability upon the Loan and substitute the new Mortgagor as obligor thereon. In connection with such assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual and as it applies to mortgage loans owned solely by it or any of its Affiliates. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the interest rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as servicing compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by the Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property or any assumption of a Loan by operation of law which the Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. Section 3.7 Realization upon Defaulted Loans. (a) Consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.1 and with a view to the best economic interest of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include acquisition of an REO Property) the Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.2. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or to restore any damaged property unless it shall determine (i) that such foreclosure and/or restoration expenses will increase the Liquidation Proceeds to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting 101 which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawal from the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3). Any gain on foreclosure or other conversion of a Liquidated Loan shall be distributed to the Class R Certificateholder, but only to the extent that such gain is not necessary to make distributions to the Certificateholders of the other Classes of offered Certificates. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof (as well as any Servicing Fees and other amounts due it, if any), to the extent, but only to the extent, that withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I with respect thereto are permitted under Section 3.3. Within 30 days after receipt of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Liquidated Loan, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee a statement of accounting for the related Liquidated Loan, including without limitation (i) the Loan number, (ii) the date the Loan was acquired in foreclosure or deed in lieu, and the date the Loan became a Liquidated Loan, (iii) the gross sales price and the related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the foreclosure date to the liquidation date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee may reasonably specify. (b) Prior to any such foreclosure, the Servicer may, at its option, repurchase any Loan which is 90 days or more delinquent and which the Servicer determines in good faith would otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings or any Loan as to which the Mortgagor tenders a deed in lieu of foreclosure at a price equal to the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the next Due Date. Any such repurchase shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment for purposes of this Agreement and all amounts in respect thereof shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.2(b). (c) The Trust Fund shall not acquire any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) except in connection with a default or imminent default of a Loan. Based on a report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits that the Mortgaged Property for which foreclosure proceedings are contemplated is in compliance with applicable environmental laws, and there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials, wastes, or petroleum based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to acquire title to such Mortgaged Property and further to take such actions as would be necessary and appropriate to effect such compliance and/or respond to such circumstances, the Servicer will not conduct such foreclosure proceedings. If the Servicer otherwise becomes aware, under its customary servicing procedures, of an environmental hazard with respect to a Loan for which foreclosure proceedings are contemplated, the Servicer will not conduct such foreclosure proceedings unless it determines in good faith that the liability associated with the environmental hazard will be less than the Liquidation Proceeds to be realized from the sale of the related Mortgaged Property. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) in connection with a default or imminent default of a Loan, such REO Property shall be disposed of by the Trust Fund within three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless 102 the Trustee shall have received from the Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at any time that any REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates are outstanding, in which case such REO Property shall be disposed of as soon as possible by the Trust Fund but in no event shall be held longer than the maximum period of time during which the Trust Fund is then permitted to hold such REO Property and allow REMIC I and REMIC II to remain qualified as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. All proceeds from the renting of such REO Property shall, net of any costs or expenses of the Servicer in connection therewith, be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ix). (d) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Loan, such Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.1) be considered to be a Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Loan shall be considered to be an outstanding Loan, it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and, for purposes of determining the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title remain in effect. (e) The Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.7 unless either: (i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or (ii) the Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions or cause either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. 103 Section 3.8 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that the payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by an Officer's Certificate (which Officer's Certificate shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.2 have been or will be so deposited) and shall by such Officer's Certificate request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such Officer's Certificate and request, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released the related Mortgage File to the Servicer. Upon the Trustee's receipt of any release or reconveyance documents or instruments relating to the Loan paid in full, the Trustee shall, not later than the 5th succeeding Business Day, execute and return such documents and instruments to the Servicer. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer by delivery to a Servicing Officer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to such Mortgage Files. Section 3.9 Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or, if not retained, to withdraw from the Certificate Account as servicing compensation its Servicing Fee out of each payment on account of interest on each Loan, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.6. The Servicer shall also be entitled to payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to a delinquent Loan out of Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Loan, to the extent permitted by Section 3.3(b). Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer and need not be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I. The Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent provided in Section 3.3(b). The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including maintenance of the blanket hazard insurance policy and the blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.5) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee the Certificate Administration and Trustee Fee out of the Servicing Fee retained by the Servicer on such Distribution Date. Such amounts shall be compensation for the activities of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder. The Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided herein. 104 Section 3.10 Reports to the Trustee; Custodial Account for P&I Statements. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its designee a statement in electronic or written form as may be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee containing the information described in Section 4.2 and such other information as may be necessary for the Trustee to distribute the amounts to be distributed to the Certificateholders by the Trustee (the "Servicer's Section 3.10 Report"). Not later than 25 days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account for P&I as of the close of business on the related Distribution Date, stating that all distributions from the Custodial Account for P&I required to be made by this Agreement have been made for the period covered by such statement (or if any required distribution has not been made, specifying the nature and status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.2 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.3. Such statement shall also include information as to the aggregate Principal Balance of all of the Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Servicer, or by the Trustee so long as the Trustee has received the report as stipulated above at the Servicer's expense if the Servicer shall fail to provide such copies. Section 3.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, on or before March 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2002, an Officer's Certificate stating as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided to each Rating Agency and to any Certificateholder upon request by the Servicer, or by the Trustee at the Servicer's expense. Section 3.12 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. On or before March 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2002, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants who are members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Loans and that, either (a) on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for FHLMC, such firm is of the opinion that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the manner of servicing set forth in agreements substantially similar to this Agreement except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such 105 statement or, (b) that their examination conducted substantially in compliance with the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers disclosed no exceptions or errors in records relating to mortgage loans serviced for others that in their opinion are material and that Paragraph 4 of that program requires them to report. Copies of such statement shall be provided to Certificateholders upon request by the Servicer, or by the Trustee at the Servicer's expense. Section 3.13 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Loans. The Servicer shall provide access to the Trustee or to its designees at its request, and to Certificateholders which are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the FDIC or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority to the documentation regarding the Loans if so required by applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. The Trustee or its designee may without charge copy any document or electronic record maintained by the Servicer hereunder. Section 3.14 [Reserved]. Section 3.15 Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties. (a) With respect to any Defaulted Loan or REO Property which the Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 3.7, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the effect that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon pursuant to Section 3.2, and, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.1 and with a view to the best economic interest of the Trust Fund, the Servicer has determined to sell such Defaulted Loan or REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.15. The Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property or, subject to the following sentence, purchase any such Defaulted Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Repurchase Price therefor), but shall in any event, so offer to sell any REO Property no later than the time determined by the Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property within the period specified in Section 3.7(c). The Servicer shall accept the highest bid received from any Person for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor or, at its option, if it has received no bid at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Defaulted Loan or REO Property at the Purchase Price. In the absence of any such bid or purchase by the Servicer, the Servicer shall accept the highest bid received from any Person that is determined by the Servicer to be a fair price for such Defaulted Loan or REO Property, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or is determined to be such a price by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may bid for or purchase any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto. 106 The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest bid if the Servicer determines, in accordance with the servicing standard stated in Section 3.1, that rejection of such bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In addition, the Servicer may accept a lower bid if it determines, in accordance with the servicing standard stated in Section 3.1, that acceptance of such bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower bid is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower bid are more favorable). In the event that the Servicer determines with respect to any REO Property that the bids being made with respect thereto are not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and that the end of the period referred to in Section 3.7(c) with respect to such REO Property is approaching, the Servicer shall seek an extension of such period in the manner described in Section 3.7(c). (b) In determining whether any bid received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee the expense of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any bid constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property, the Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Defaulted Loan, the physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property or such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust Fund's obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.7(c). (c) The Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund), and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Servicer or the Trustee. (d) The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I in accordance with Section 3.2(b). 107 Section 3.16 Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer or the Trustee may at any time delegate any duties hereunder to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement. In case of such delegation, the Servicer or the Trustee shall supervise, administer, monitor and oversee the activities of such Person hereunder to insure that such Person performs such duties in accordance herewith and shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of such Person to the same extent as it is responsible for its own actions or omissions hereunder. Any such delegations shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.4 hereof and shall be revocable by any successor Servicer or the Trustee. Section 3.17 [Reserved]. Section 3.18 [Reserved]. Section 3.19 Appointment of a Special Servicer. The Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of Subordinate Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in such Class of Subordinate Certificates, such agreement to be (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit R hereto or (ii) subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Loans and may contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures. Section 3.20 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Group I Loan. The amount of Realized Losses with respect to the Group I Loans shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. All Realized Losses with respect to the Group I Loans, except for Excess Losses related to the Group I Loans, will be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal (a) first, to the Group I Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority until each of their Component Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) second, to the Group I Senior Certificates, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest (a) first, to the Group I Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority, in reduction of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and then in reduction of the Component Principal Balance of such Components and (b) second, to the Group I Senior Certificates and Components thereof, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero. 108 Excess Losses related to the Group I Loans shall be allocated among the Group I Senior Certificates and the Group I Subordinate Components by Pro Rata Allocation. On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to the principal distributions and allocations of losses as provided in this Agreement (without regard to this paragraph), if the Group I Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all outstanding Classes of Group I Senior Certificates and Group I Subordinate Components exceeds the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Loans, after deduction of (i) all principal payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date in respect of each such Group I Loan whether or not paid and (ii) all amounts of principal in respect of each such Group I Loan that have been received or advanced and included in the Group I Available Distribution Amount, and all losses in respect of such Group I Loans that have been allocated to the Group I Senior Certificates and Components and Group I Subordinate Components, on such Distribution Date or prior Distribution Dates, then such excess will be deemed a principal loss and will be allocated to the most junior Component of Group I Subordinate Components then outstanding, in reduction of the Component Principal Balance thereof.

Excess Losses related to the Group II Loans shall be allocated among the Group II Senior Certificates and the Group II Subordinate Components by Pro Rata Allocation. On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to the principal distributions and allocations of losses as provided in this Agreement (without regard to this paragraph), if the Group II Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all outstanding Classes of Group II Senior Certificates and Group II Subordinate Components exceeds the aggregate principal balance of the Group II Loans, after deduction of (i) all principal payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date in respect of each such Group II Loan whether or not paid and (ii) all amounts of principal in respect of each such Group II Loan that have been received or advanced and included in the Group II Available Distribution Amount, and all losses in respect of such Group II Loans that have been allocated to the Group II Senior Certificates and Components and 109 Group II Subordinate Components, on such Distribution Date or prior Distribution Dates, then such excess will be deemed a principal loss and will be allocated to the most junior Component of Group II Subordinate Components then outstanding, in reduction of the Component Principal Balance thereof. (c) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Group III Loan. The amount of Realized Losses with respect to the Group III Loans shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. All Realized Losses with respect to the Group III Loans, except for Excess Losses related to the Group III Loans, will be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal (a) first, to the Group III Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority until each of their Component Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) second, to the Group III Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest (a) first, to the Group III Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority, in reduction of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and then in reduction of the Component Principal Balance of such Components and (b) second, to the Group III Senior Certificates and Components thereof, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero.

The amount of Realized Losses with respect to the Group IV Loans shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate signed by a 110 Responsible Officer of the Servicer. All Realized Losses with respect to the Group IV Loans, except for Excess Losses related to the Group IV Loans, will be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal (a) first, to the Group IV Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority until each of their Component Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) second, to the Group IV Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest (a) first, to the Group IV Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority, in reduction of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and then in reduction of the Component Principal Balance of such Components and (b) second, to the Group IV Senior Certificates and Components thereof, by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero. Excess Losses related to the Group IV Loans shall be allocated among the Group IV Senior Certificates and the Group IV Subordinate Components by Pro Rata Allocation.

(e) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Group V and Group VI Loan. The amount of Realized Losses with respect to the Group V and Group VI Loans shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. All Realized Losses with respect to the Group V and Group VI Loans, except for Excess Losses related to the Group V and Group VI Loans, will be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal (a) first, to the Crossed Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority until each of their Class Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) second, for losses on Group V Loans to the Group V Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation, and for losses on Group VI Loans to the Group VI Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation, until the Certificate Principal Balances and 111 Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest (a) first, to the Crossed Subordinate Components in reverse order of seniority, in reduction of accrued but unpaid interest thereon and then in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such Classes and (b) second, for losses on Group V Loans to the Group V Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation, and for losses on Group VI Loans to the Group VI Senior Certificates and Components, by Pro Rata Allocation, until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero. Excess Losses related to the Group V and Group VI Loans shall be allocated among the Group V and Group VI Senior Certificates and the Crossed Subordinate Components by Pro Rata Allocation. On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to the principal distributions and allocations of losses as provided in this Agreement (without regard to this paragraph), if the Group V and Group VI Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all outstanding Classes of Group V and Group VI Senior Certificates and Components and Crossed Subordinate Certificates exceeds the aggregate principal balance of the Group V and Group VI Loans, after deduction of (i) all principal payments due on or before the Cut- Off Date in respect of each such Group V and Group VI Loan whether or not paid and (ii) all amounts of principal in respect of each such Group V and Group VI Loan that have been received or advanced and included in the Group V and Group VI Available Distribution Amount, and all losses in respect of such Group V and Group VI Loans that have been allocated to the Group V and Group VI Senior Certificates and Components and Crossed Subordinate Certificates, on such Distribution Date or prior Distribution Dates, then such excess will be deemed a principal loss and will be allocated to the most junior Class of Crossed Subordinate Components then outstanding, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof. ARTICLE IV PAYMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS; ADVANCES; STATEMENTS AND REPORTS Section 4.1 Distributions to Certificateholders. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate account as set forth in Article I (the "Certificate Account"), the purpose of which is to accept deposits from the Servicer and to make distributions to the Certificateholders of the amounts set forth in this Section 4.1.

The Servicer's obligation to make any Advance or Advances described in this Section 4.3 is effective only to the extent that such Advance is, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Loans or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Loans or otherwise. Prior to the close of business on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine whether or not it will make an Advance on the next Withdrawal Date and shall furnish a statement to the Certificate Administrator, if any, the 115 Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be distributed on the next succeeding Distribution Date on account of principal and interest in respect of the Loans, stated separately.

In the event that the Servicer shall be required to make an Advance, it shall on the Withdrawal Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) direct the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (if so appointed by the Trustee) to make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.3, used by such Servicer to make such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the related Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on any future Withdrawal Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on the related Distribution Date with respect to the related Loans shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to such Loans.

Section 4.4 Nonrecoverable Advances. Any Advance previously made by the Servicer with respect to a Loan that the Servicer shall determine in its good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Loan or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such Loan shall be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee on the Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy relating to the Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Loans to which the Depositor or the Servicer is a party, (a) the Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that, after reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, it determines would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance as provided in Section 3.3 of this Agreement. 116 Section 4.5 Foreclosure Reports.

The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J. Section 4.6 Adjustment of Servicing Fees with Respect to Payoffs. The aggregate amount of the Servicing Fee subject to retention from deposit into or withdrawal from the Certificate Account by the Servicer, in any month of distribution shall be decreased by any Compensating Interest due and owing with respect to any Loan with respect to which a Payoff has occurred in the related Prepayment Period. The Servicer shall include the amount of any such Compensating Interest with the deposits into the Certificate Account on the related Withdrawal Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by which the Servicing Fee may be reduced with respect to the related Prepayment Period pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not exceed an amount greater than the amount described in clause (i) of the definition of Compensating Interest for all Loans as to which Payoffs have occurred and the rights of the Certificateholders to such portion of the Servicing Fee shall not be cumulative.

If the Servicer is indemnified for such taxes pursuant to this Section 4.7(a), such amount shall be first charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Component R-1 of the Class R Certificate (or, if the tax relates to REMIC II, Component R-2 of the Class R Certificate) on a pro 117 rata basis, then against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests (or, if the tax relates to REMIC II, to the Holders of the REMIC II Certificates) on a pro rata basis. The Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds to reimburse the Servicer for the payment of such tax for which the Servicer is entitled to indemnification. (b) The Servicer shall pay on written demand, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund from and against, any and all taxes imposed on the Trust Fund (including, for this purpose, any and all interest, penalties, fines and additions to tax, as well as any and all reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in contesting the imposition of such tax).

Section 4.9 Equal Status of Servicing Fee. The right of the Servicer to receive its Servicing Fee will be equal and not subordinate to the right of the Certificateholders to receive principal and interest payments based on their interests as provided herein.

Subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall be amended from time to time by the Trustee or its agent to reflect notice of any changes received by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to Section 10.5. The Trustee hereby appoints LaSalle Bank National Association as the initial Certificate Registrar. The Trustee may appoint an Eligible Institution to act as its agent in order to delegate to such Eligible Institution its duties as Certificate Registrar under this Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the Trustee at the office of First Trust of New York, National Association, 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Glenn Anderson, or such other address or agency as may hereafter be provided to the Certificate Administrator, if any, and the Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations of like Percentage Interest. At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee, or any Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so required by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or transfer of Certificates, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or transfer of Certificates. 126 All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be canceled by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent. Section 5.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time. Section 5.5 Persons Deemed Owners. The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, if any, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, if any, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Section 5.6 Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee may execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any Authorized Denomination, of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations in form from the forms of the Certificates set forth as Exhibits A and B hereto as the Trustee's officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates may remain in the form set forth in this Section. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause definitive Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days of the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange shall be borne by the Depositor. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall 127 authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates. Section 5.7 Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized Denomination representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial Holder's interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided above and in Section 5.9. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend: Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Trustee or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 5.9: (a) the provisions of this Section 5.7 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates; (b) the Certificate Administrator, if any, and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the sole Certificateholder; (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.7 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.7 shall control; and (d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.9, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the DTC Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Class of Book-Entry Certificates to such DTC Participants. 128 For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial Holders owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest represented by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders. Section 5.8 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.9, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book- Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and communications to the related DTC Participants in accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures. Section 5.9 Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Clearing Agency notifies the Certificate Administrator, if any, or the Trustee that it is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depositary Agreement with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Certificate Administrator, if any, or the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificateholders holding Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of such Certificates advise the Certificate Administrator, if any, or the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through DTC Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificateholders with respect to such Certificates, the Trustee shall notify or cause to be notified all Certificateholders of Book-Entry Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, if any, the Authenticating Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for all of the Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, if any, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. 129 Section 5.10 Office for Transfer of Certificates. The Trustee shall maintain in New York, New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. First Trust of New York, National Association, 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Glenn Anderson, is initially designated for said purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency. ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER Section 6.1 Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein. Section 6.2 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer. Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor and the Servicer each will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as corporations, each under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 6.3 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, nor shall this provision protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence in the performance of duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or 130 agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense, in the case of the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer, incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or, in the case of the Servicer, as Servicer, incurred by reason of negligence in the performance of any duties hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Custodial Account for P&I as provided by Section 3.3. Section 6.4 Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer at the date of this Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency of any such resignation. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the limitations stated above, the Servicer may transfer its obligations, duties and rights hereunder without the consent of the Certificateholders, provided, that (i) the Servicer obtains the prior written consent of each Rating Agency, (ii) the transferee is a FNMA- or FHLMC-approved servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, (iii) the successor servicer assumes all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof, and (iv) the then-current rating of the Class A Certificates will not be reduced as a result of such transfer, and (v) the successor servicer has, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, the qualifications, resources and experience to properly carry out, observe and perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities of Servicer hereunder; provided, that the foregoing clause (v) is intended solely for the benefit of (and may be exercised or waived at the sole discretion of) the Trustee, to enable the Trustee to assure itself that any successor Servicer has such acceptable qualifications, resources and experience, and such clause (v) is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be relied upon or enforced by, any Certificateholder, and provided, further, that any consent to such transfer will not be unreasonably withheld by the Trustee. 131 ARTICLE VII DEFAULT Section 7.1 Events of Default. In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say: (i) any failure by the Servicer to distribute or cause to be distributed to the Trustee or its delegate on the Withdrawal Date any payment required to be made to the Trustee under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates; (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; (iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidating committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; (v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or (vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.3 which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which such Advance was to have been made; then, if an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section 7.1 shall occur, and in each and every such case, subject to applicable law, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates 132 by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have to reimbursement of expenses, Advances and other advances of its own funds as Servicer to the extent permitted by this Agreement, other than the Depositor's (or its successors') obligation to repurchase any Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 shall survive any such termination. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, which shall be telecopied to the Servicer, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 (subject to the provisions of Section 7.5); and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents or otherwise at the expense of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee all documents and records whether in written or electronic form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee of this Agreement all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the Loans as well as any escrowed funds held by it or in connection with its servicing activities hereunder. The Servicer and the Trustee shall give each Rating Agency notice of any Event of Default. Section 7.2 Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies, and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Section 7.3 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding 133 for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Servicer or any successor servicer from its rights and duties as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided, further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders or if the Trustee has received contrary directions pursuant to this Section 7.3. Section 7.4 Action upon Certain Failures of Servicer and upon Event of Default. In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer specified in Section 7.1(i) or (ii) which would become an Event of Default upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer. In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer as specified in Section 7.1(i) and (ii) or any Event of Default unless notified thereof in writing by the Servicer or by a Certificateholder. Section 7.5 Appointment of Successor Servicer. (a) When the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1 or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6.4, the Trustee shall become the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, provided, however, that the Trustee's obligation to make any Advances shall be no greater than set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and in its capacity as such successor shall have the same limitation of liability herein granted to the Servicer and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be required to make an Advance from its own funds if such Advance would be prohibited by law. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive monthly an amount not to exceed the Servicing Fee as agreed by the Trustee and the Servicer, together with such other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late charges, prepayment fees or otherwise provided in Section 3.9. If the agreed amount is less than the Servicing Fee, the excess shall be paid to the Class R Certificateholder. If the Trustee and the Servicer shall not agree on the amount of such compensation, the Trustee shall solicit bids for a successor servicer as described in Section 7.5(b), 134 provided, however, if no successor servicer is obtained through the bidding process, the Trustee may act as such, or may pursuant to Section 7.5(b) appoint a successor servicer to act as such, for the Servicing Fee together with such other servicing compensation as provided in Section 3.9. In no event shall the Trustee's assumption of or succession to the obligations of the Servicer make the Trustee liable for any actions or omissions of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer. (b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may and shall, if it is unable (or unwilling due to disagreement on compensation as provided in Section 7.5 (a)) to act as Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution which is an approved FNMA or FHLMC servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards as are set forth in Section 6.4 hereof for a successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder (except the repurchase obligations set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, which shall remain obligations of the Depositor); provided, however, that until such appointment and assumption, the Trustee will continue to perform the servicing obligations pursuant to this Agreement (and until such time shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees pursuant to Section 3.9); provided, further, that prior to the appointment of any successor servicer, the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment of such successor servicer would not result in the downgrade of the Rating assigned to any Class of Certificates. The compensation of any successor servicer so appointed shall be equal to the Servicing Fees specified in Section 3.9 together with such other compensation as is provided in said Section 3.9. In the event the Trustee is required to solicit bids as provided above, the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions acceptable to the Trustee and meeting the qualifications set forth above in this Section 7.5(b) for the purchase of the servicing functions. Such public announcement shall specify that the successor servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee on the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans as servicing compensation for servicing the Loans, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, prepayment fees or otherwise as provided in Section 3.9. Within 45 days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder (except the repurchase obligations set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, which shall remain obligations of the Depositor) to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Trustee shall deduct all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Class R Certificateholder at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer's successor. (c) The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably 135 requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor servicer, as applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it. Section 7.6 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination of the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall as soon as practicable give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency. ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE Section 8.1 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. Subject to Sections 8.2(i), 8.3 and 8.4, the Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by any party hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or in the event the Trustee is acting as successor servicer pursuant to Section 7.5, to the standard imposed on the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement; provided, however, that: 136 (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; (ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Certificateholders holding Certificates which have an aggregate Certificate Principal Balance aggregating not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by any Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or such Responsible Officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iv) The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Depositor or the Servicer (except for its own acts or omissions as Servicer hereunder) or for any but its own acts or omissions; (v) The Trustee shall not be deemed to take notice or be deemed to have knowledge of any matter, including without limitation any default or Event of Default, unless written notice thereof, referring to the Certificates, the Depositor, the Trust Fund or this Agreement is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; and (vi) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, the Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Certificate Account, and (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 137 None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Section 8.2 Certain Matters Affecting Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1: (i) Before acting or refraining from acting the Trustee may request or require an Officer's Certificate; the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (iv) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; (v) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and (vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys or custodians, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee with care.

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates having a Percentage Interest not less than 51% of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Depositor or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Depositor upon demand. Section 8.4 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer or for investment of any such amounts. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Trustee shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment while an Event of Default exists; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee or any such person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with or related to the Trustee's performance of its powers and duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, performance under Section 8.1 hereof), or any action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, or the performance of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by any such Person by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties. Any such losses, liabilities and expenses resulting therefrom shall be losses, liabilities and expenses of the Depositor. The indemnification provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement. 139 Section 8.5 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee and any Affiliate or agent of the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner of or a pledgee of the Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee monthly (or as otherwise agreed), and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Tax Matters Person (or Person acting as its attorney-in-fact or agent) shall indemnify the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Trustee resulting from any error in any tax or tax information returns prepared or caused to be prepared by such Person. In the event that (i) the Servicer does not pay to the Trustee any compensation owed to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Trustee is not reimbursed for any expense, disbursement or advance incurred or made by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw and retain such amount from the Certificate Account. In the event the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in any proceedings which result from an Event of Default under Section 7.1, subsections (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Agreement, or from any default which, with the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, the expenses so incurred and compensation for services so rendered are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code or equivalent law. Section 8.7 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. The Trustee shall not control the Servicer nor be a parent of or a subsidiary of the Servicer. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.7 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.7, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.8. 140 Section 8.8 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Servicer. Such notice shall also be furnished to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee at the expense of the Servicer. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.7 and shall fail to resign after written request for the Trustee's resignation by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, with or without cause, the Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates having a Percentage Interest aggregating not less than 51% of the aggregate Denomination of all Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instrument or instruments shall be delivered to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor trustee so appointed. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.9. Section 8.9 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.8 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by the Custodian, if it shall agree to become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 141 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.9 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.7. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.9, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer. Section 8.10 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided, that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 8.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co- trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Each co- trustee separate trustee hereunder shall not be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.7 hereunder and no notice to holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.9 hereof. In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, 142 duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or a portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Trustee may appoint one or more Eligible Institutions to act as its agent or agents to perform any or all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Each such agent shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Section 8.12 Appointment of Custodians. The Trustee may, with the consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians, not affiliated with the Depositor, to review, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee provided, however, that such appointed Custodian may be LaSalle Bank National Association. Any Custodian appointed shall be an institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Section 8.13 Authenticating Agent. (a) The Trustee may appointfrom time to time an authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent. Any successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to 143 the Servicer and have a principal office and place of business in New York, New York or Chicago, Illinois, have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and be authorized to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. (b) Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. (c) The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Servicer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.13. (d) The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any reasonable compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable expense under Section 8.6. Section 8.14 Bloomberg. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, will arrange with Bloomberg to have the Depositor set up on Bloomberg to provide the information set forth on Exhibit Q (the "Data") with respect to the Loans on a monthly basis in a format acceptable to Bloomberg and acceptable to the Underwriters. During the term of this Agreement, the Trustee will provide updated Data to Bloomberg on or before each Distribution Date. Section 8.15 Reports to Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor in writing, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall prepare, sign and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on behalf of the Depositor, (i) no later than ten days after each Distribution Date, the Certificateholders' Report on the appropriate form and in the appropriate medium authorized or prescribed therefor under the Exchange Act, (ii) no later than March 25 of each calendar year, an annual report meeting the requirements of the Exchange Act on the appropriate form and in the appropriate medium authorized or prescribed therefor under the Exchange Act. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly forward copies of all filings made pursuant to this Section 8.15 to the Depositor. 144 Section 8.16 Calculation of LIBOR. Until the Certificate Principal Balance of each of the Adjustable Rate Certificates has been reduced to zero, LIBOR for the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be 2.10% with respect to the Class IA-3 and Class IA-4 Certificates and 1.91% with respect to the Class IVA-3 and Class IVA-4 Certificates, and for any Interest Accrual Period thereafter, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, shall establish LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination Date as follows: (a) If on such LIBOR Determination Date a rate for United States dollar deposits for one month appears on the Dow Jones Telerate System, page 3750, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to such rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time; (b) If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, after consultation with the Servicer), the rate shall be determined as follows: (i) The Trustee on the LIBOR Determination Date will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Trustee, to provide the Trustee with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the upcoming one-month period, commencing on the second LIBOR Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such LIBOR Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. (ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. in New York City on such LIBOR Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by the Trustee for one-month United States dollar loans to leading European banks, in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Trustee are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will continue to be LIBOR as then currently in effect on such LIBOR Determination Date. (c) The establishment of LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination Date by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, and the Trustee's or Certificate Administrator's calculation of the rate of interest applicable to the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. 145 ARTICLE IX TERMINATION Section 9.1 Termination upon Purchase by the Depositor or Liquidation of All Loans. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth in this Section 9.1 and obligations to the Trustee in Sections 8.4 and 8.6) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Loan or (ii) the purchase by the Depositor of all Loans at a price equal to the sum of (a) the principal balance of each Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate to the next scheduled Installment Due Date and (b) the fair market value of all acquired property in respect of Loans, such fair market value to be determined by an appraiser selected by the Trustee or (iii) the purchase by the Servicer, so long as the Servicer is the Depositor, of all outstanding Certificates and delivery of such Certificates to the Trustee; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof; and provided, further, that a "plan of liquidation" of each of REMIC I and II in accordance with Section 860F of the Code must be adopted in conjunction with any termination effected pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section 9.1. The Depositor is hereby granted the right to purchase the Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above, provided, however, that such right shall be conditioned upon the Principal Balances of such Loans, at the time of any such purchase, aggregating an amount less than 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans on the Cut-off Date, after deduction of payments due on or before such date. Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, specifying the Distribution Date upon which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee or its agent for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee or its agent (upon direction by the Servicer no less than 10 days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed by first class mail no later than the 25th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar therein specified. The Trustee or its agent shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar and each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar shall also 146 terminate. In the event such notice is given in connection with Depositor's election to purchase, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account on the related Withdrawal Date an amount equal to the above-described purchase price and upon such deposit Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such purchase price but not amounts in excess thereof, all as provided herein. With respect to the Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates pursuant to any termination under this Section 9.1, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders an amount equal to (a) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with a purchase; or (b) if the Depositor elected to so purchase, the purchase price calculated as above provided. Upon any termination pursuant to clause (iii) above, or upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer following such final deposit, the Trustee and any Custodian shall promptly release to the Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee or its agent shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee or its agent shall take appropriate and reasonable steps as directed by the Servicer, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in trust hereunder. Section 9.2 Trusts Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided herein, all trusts created hereby are irrevocable. Section 9.3 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event the Depositor exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund as described in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or (ii) cause either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding: (A) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Depositor under Section 9.1, the Tax Matters Person shall prepare the documents associated with and shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each of REMIC I and REMIC II of the Trust Fund; and 147 (B) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in accordance with such plan of liquidation; provided, however, that in the event that a calendar quarter ends after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation but prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer shall not sell any of the assets of the Trust Fund prior to the close of that calendar quarter. (b) The Tax Matters Person hereby agrees to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not cause either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any REMIC I Regular Interests or REMIC II Certificates are outstanding.

The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

(For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity, or any foreign government or international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income). 3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificate; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnished to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificate may represent "noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. 4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Class R Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified J-1 organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity.

That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding. 12. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificate deliver to the Certificate Registrar a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. [The Owner hereby agrees that it will not make any transfer of any Class R Certificate unless (i) the transfer is to an entity which is a domestic C corporation (other than an exempt corporation, a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, a REMIC, or a cooperative organization to which part I of Subchapter T of the Code applies) for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the transfer is in compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph 5 of Exhibit I of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]1/. ------------------ 1/ Bracketed text to be included if the Owner is relying on the transferee's compliance with the "Asset Test Safe Harbor" (which is generally described as the second "safe harbor" in the Prospectus Supplement) J-2 13.

The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Depositor and to take any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder (whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of the REMIC I or the REMIC II. 15. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that could endanger the REMIC status of the REMIC I or the REMIC II, as applicable, or result in the imposition of tax on the REMIC I or the REMIC II unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the Depositor has provided an opinion that such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition of such tax, as applicable. 16. The Owner as transferee of the Class R Certificate has represented to their transferor that, if the Class R Certificate represents noneconomic residual interests, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its holding of the Class R Certificate as they become due.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with such meanings, and in the event of any conflict between the Pooling Agreement and the terms of this Certificate, the Pooling Agreement shall control. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling Agreement, to which Pooling Agreement the Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling Agreement. To the extent described in the Pooling Agreement, the Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to cover certain shortfalls with respect to payments on the Loans. In the event Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Servicer from the related recoveries on such Loan or from other cash deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I to the extent that such advance is not otherwise recoverable. As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I may be made by the Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it. The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the Servicer, and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Pooling Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of the Certificates aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by all of the Certificates of the Trust Fund.

The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if transfer is not made in accordance with the Pooling Agreement. The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the portion of the Available Distribution Amount distributable on this Class of Certificate, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

entered into as of ____________ 1, 20__, between _______________, as seller and master servicer (the "Company"), _______________, as holder of the Class B Certificates identified on Schedule I (the "Class B Holder") and _______________, [an affiliate of the Class B Holder,] as special servicer (the "Special Servicer"). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT WHEREAS, the Class B Holder is the holder of at least 75% of each the classes of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (each a "Class B Certificate") of the series of issuances (each a "Series") issued by the Company identified on Schedule I attached hereto (such Schedule I, as may be modified or amended to reflect (i) the purchase from time to time by the Class B Holder of interests in any class of Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns not less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates and (ii) the sale from time to time of the Class B Holder of interests in any class of Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates, the "Schedule I"). WHEREAS, each of the Class B Certificates was issued by the Company pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Agreements (each a "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") identified on Schedule I and evidences an ownership interest in a pool of Mortgage Loans. WHEREAS, the Company is the Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans related to each Series and the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Company's [Servicer Guide] (the "Servicer Guide")]. WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase by Class B Holder of a Series of Class B Certificates (whether owned by the Class B Holder on the date hereof or purchased by the Class B Holder at any time in the future), the Class B Holder and the Company have agreed that (i) the Class B Holder, if it owns 75% of the most subordinate outstanding class of Class B Certificates of a Series (calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all certificates of the same class) may elect to have certain Mortgage Loans with respect to the related Series that become 90 or more days delinquent (each such Mortgage Loan, a "Delinquent Mortgage Loan") serviced by the Special Servicer (each such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, a "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan"), and (ii) with respect to Delinquent Mortgage Loans other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Company will provide to the Class B Holder such information as is generated [pursuant to the terms of the Servicer Guide] by the Company or a subservicer with respect to such Delinquent Loan. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company, the Class B Holder and the Special Servicer hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS Section 1.01 Definitions Incorporated by Reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meaning ascribed thereto as set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [or the Servicer Guide, as the context may require]. R-1 ARTICLE II DESIGNATION OF SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS AND SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES Section 2.01 [Approval of _______________ as an Approved Servicer under the Servicer Guide. The Company hereby approves _______________ as an approved servicer for all purposes under the terms of the Servicer Guide.] Section 2.02 Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. To the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 75% of the most subordinate outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series (calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all certificates of the same class), Delinquent Mortgage Loans of the related Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated in writing by the Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and transferred to the Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Servicer Guide]. Following the designation of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Loan, the Company shall transfer servicing of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer substantially in the manner set forth herein and in Schedule II hereto. [The parties hereto agree that any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to the Special Servicer (or any successor thereto) shall be the obligation of the Company.] As of the Effective Date (as defined below) of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights, duties and obligations of the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the making of advances, any right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the purchase price set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the right to receive the servicing fee with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the terms and conditions of the Servicer Guide]. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the effective date (the "Effective Date") shall be the first day of the month immediately following the month of designation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as such, provided that such written designation is received by the Company on or prior to the 15th calendar day of such month. Once a Delinquent Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement, regardless of delinquency status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an optional termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have not been commenced shall be transferred promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written instructions from the Company. If the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii) purchases such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns 75% or more of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the Company and the Special Servicer in writing of any such transfer or acquisition. Upon receipt of written notice from the Class B Holder, the Company or the Class B Holder shall revise Schedule I hereto to reflect any such transfer or acquisition and R-2 shall forward promptly a copy of such revised schedule to the Company or the Class B Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. With respect to the purchase of at least 75% of the Class B Certificates of any Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this Agreement shall be effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition is received by the Company. If and to the extent the Company is permitted to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder at the price and on the terms set forth in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as permitted under this Section, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to accomplish such purchase (i.e. provide notification to the Trustee and/or Custodian) and to resell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall (i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in connection with a deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility for any obligations, duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the servicing of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related Effective Date for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which would customarily be assumed after the Effective Date. Section 2.03 Termination of Special Servicer for Default. The Company shall have the right, immediately upon written notice, to terminate the Special Servicer's right and obligation to subservice all of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans hereunder in the event (each such event, an "Event of Default") of: (i) any failure by the Special Servicer to remit to the Company for distribution to the Certificateholders of a Series any payment (including without limitation, any failure to make any required Advance) required to be made under the terms of this Agreement or the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer by the Company; or (ii) any failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Special Sub-Servicer contained in this Agreement (including any breach of the Special Servicer's representations and warranties contained in Section 4.03 hereof, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders of a Series) which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer by the Company; or (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Special Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or R-3 (v) the Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

(c) With respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan for which the Company has not provided a notice as contemplated in clause (a) above, the Class B Holder may, at any time, provide the Company with written direction as to the action to be taken with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, to commence foreclosure proceedings, to accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, to consent to a sale of Mortgaged Property at a loss, or, if permitted under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans.

The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. [The parties hereto agree that, in connection with a purchase of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as provided above, any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of such purchased Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to a servicer designated by the Class B Holder shall be the obligation of the Company.] Section 3.03 Review of the Company's Procedures.
